Defrost Indicator
The defrost indicator lamp will illuminate to indicate
the dehumidifier is in defrost cycle. During this
period, the compressor is running and the system
has reversed.
Venting/Ducting
Exit air can be ducted on the dehumidifier. Using
ducting larger than 6.7” in diameter is
recommended.
Transporting
The VG 1500 should be transported upright. When
transporting the unit, there is the possibility of water
spillage out of the pump reservoir or water drainage
off of the wetted evaporator coil. It is therefore
important to make effective use of the manual purge
feature to evacuate the water out of the pump
reservoir before moving the unit. After the OFF
button has been depressed, it is recommended that
a manual purge be initiated by depressing the
PURGE button. Then wait at least 15 minutes for the
water to shed off the evaporator and find its way into
the pump reservoir. Initiate another manual purge to
clear the pump reservoir of any residual water one
last time before moving the unit. Disconnect and
fully drain the drain hose before coiling it up.
CAUTION: If the unit has been laid on its back,
even for short periods of time, it must be set
upright for at least ½ hour before being plugged
in and started up. This gives the compressor oil
and liquid refrigerant sufficient time to re-
distribute. Failure to do so can cause premature
compressor failure, and voids the compressor
warranty.
If extremely poor road conditions exist, or excessive
shock and vibration are expected, take
precautionary measures by padding the unit to
provide impact absorption during transport.
CAUTION: Always be careful when moving the
dehumidifier inside a building or home. Older
structures with weakened floors and staircases
may require special considerations for safe
transport.
MAINTENANCE
Air Filter
Replacement frequency is very subjective, as it
depends on the cleanliness of the job site air, as well
the duration of use. The air filter should be checked
regularly. Operating the dehumidifier with a clogged
filter will reduce efficiency. Operating it without a
filter will cause the internal workings to become
clogged allowing bacteria and mold to form. The unit
can also accommodate a higher efficiency
replacement filter of the same physical size and still
operate effectively.
